note 77525 added to function.array-search

A better array_isearch would be to store all results in an array, then return the KEYS stored in $found, such as: <?php function array_isearch($str, $array){ $found = array(); foreach ($array as $k => $v) if (strtolower($v) == strtolower($str)) $found[] = $k; return $found; } ?> To use, simply have an array to search from then search it, for example: <?php function array_isearch($str, $array) { $found = array(); foreach($array as $k => $v) if(strtolower($v) == strtolower($str)) $found[] = $k; return $found; } $stored = "these are an array"; $stored = explode(" ", $stored); $compare = array("these", "are", "some", "results", "stored", "in", "an", "array"); foreach($stored as $store) { $results = array_isearch($store, $compare); foreach($results as $key => $result) echo "Key: ".$results[$key]."<br />Found: ".$compare[$result]."<br />"; } ?> Hope this helps :-) -Rob ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 69.29.103.172 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77525 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77525/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77525/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77525/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77525/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77525/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77525/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77525 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77525 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
